No, that is not the proper way to display the American flag and would cause permanent damage to my vehicle and affect its functionality.

No, I meant that HOAs are comprised of dickholes. More specifically a dickhole has a personality that draws them to "serve" on an HOA.

Yes, unfortunately that is the reality of it.

Absolutely. He should be treated with respect but, and here's the point that some people don't seem to be getting, HELD TO HIS OBLIGATIONS.

Well here's a twist.

The basic principle still applies...flagpoles are not approved by the HOA BUT it is NOT a condo/townhome and it IS his property.

It is a single family home and it is in HIS front yard.

It is NOT a common area as previously thought.

The HOA is still within their rights here...bottom line.

I do wish they would just let him keep his flagpole.

I served 4 1/2 years with the US Marine Corps and I do love the flag and my country BUT when you move in to a neighborhood governed by an HOA...you are obligated to follow the rules.

That is a twist.

Like you said the HOA is still in the right, legally.

It was more fun arguing with the Canucks and Kaneman over their rabble rabble on someone else's land.

The HOA can get bent on that rule. It's the rules and he should follow them, but why? What do they have against flagpoles? For aesthetic reasons? That's bullshit. Makes me want to go home and put up a flagpole in my own yard, which is allowed by our HOA. HOA's are good for the most part but this goes beyond fucked up.

What are you having difficulty understanding?

You own exactly 1/Number of Units in the Complex. The issue is the bylaws state what can and cannot be placed outside of your unit.
